Having had a lifetime of our wonderful governments low fat healthy eating plan I am fast approching 60 and still overweight and diabetic,
I have been following the Low carb forum for a while but unable to do the diet due to gallbladder issues, these now have been resolved, i had the operation and am fully recovered so i decided to make a start and try see if it would help out my continually high blood sugar levels.I am type2 diabetic for past 11 years and have over the past 2 years seen the quantity of my medications double.
Ok so best reading matter i could come up with for a N00B was Atkins so i did my reading and made a start 2 weeks ago now, and 7 kilo's gone I am thinking wow this makes a change I can do this, but it didnt seem to do anything much for my blood sugar numbers until today that is.
This afternoon I had my very first 3.9 but i didnt feel unwell, i did however take precautions with a few gummi bears but then it went too 3.7 so a few more gummibears, still 3.7 so few more gummi bears finally after 25 minutes i managed to make a 6.3 after 4x 3.7 and way more gummi bears than i ever thought would be neccessary.
Is it possible that I now have to get my tablets reduced? and will I have too up my carbs in the meantime, I was just doing so well with this, and I don't want to have to quit, any suggestions please?
